About Me

Brooke Ragsdale

Sweet
Graphix Design & Photography is definitely NOT your average retail
design and photography company. My name is Brooke Ragsdale and I will
work with throughout the process, starting with getting to know you so I
can pick up on your personality traits all the way to your intentions
for your finished designs and/or photographs. I want you to walk away
from this experience feeling like you will “do” something artistic or
creative with the photographs instead of tossing them into an envelope
and storing them in “that” box in your attic.

I
am probably one of the most laid back and comical people you will ever
meet. I am known for taking awkward situations and turning them into
something so funny it’s a top 10 honorable mention. When working with
me I want you to feel relaxed and walking away feeling like you had a
blast. I’m a spectator for the most part. I like to hang out on the
“out-skirts” and watch my subjects interact, especially when
photographing children. I get so tickled when watching children
interact with each other and when they discover something new. Being
able to capture the expression on their tiny little faces is a great way
to document a monumental milestone and deserves to sit on the mantel.

Often
with large groups of people like families, I have to get involved a bit
more and suggest certain poses but I still like to stay in the
background to photograph who you really are. I want you to be able to
look back through your photographs and see yourself and feel your
personality jump off the page.

By
now you should have a decent understanding of how I work and if you
decide that my style isn’t what you are after, then I would be more than
happy to refer you to a few other local companies that offer a
different experience. My mission for my photography business is not
about creating art for myself but for you, my client. I want to create
things that YOU will appreciate and want hanging in your home for many,
many years. I’m all about dirty faces, bare feet splashing in puddles,
crocs, scuffed knees. These are real life things and moments and those
are what I love to capture for you. That being said, I love taking my
photos a bit further and performing artistic edits on them. For
examples of that, please look through the retouching photo folder.
